Joy and sorrow. They intermingle. We are all part of this destiny that dances on our foreheads.

Thanks so much. It was a dark period and to this day There are only a couple people I can talk to about that time without becoming quite emotional and it took place 15 years ago!

What a picture you painted. The pain, sense of loss and the embarrassment. My brother went through this it was awful, almost ended his marriage. He still has trouble talking about that time in his life. I hope you are in a good place now. I'm voting awesome on this one.
